You don't like merge commits because they are polluting your Git history? You can now choose to rebase when updating a branch in a pull request 🥳 github.blog/changelog/2022…

@github Lots of really nice features lately, thanks! How about.. IPv6 support next, so we can actually make use of these features? At least for repo push/pull.

@github Nice! Next can we have a button to do the equivalent of `git rebase main; git switch main; git merge --no-ff feature` in one click? Rebase for simple linear history, --no-ff so new commits are still all grouped together.

@github Does this preserve the author date as the commit date? (i.e. --committer-date-is-author-date)

@github @tegsali this may be of interest

@github Is there an option for fast forward merge when the source branch is already up to date? @Bitbucket has that option. It avoids merge commits and source branch history re-write.

@github @Sam_Rowe, thoughts? 😜

@github Nice. I was waiting for this feature for a long time. Unfortunately I’m moving to a project hosted on gitlab in a week 😝

@github This is what we're waiting for a long time 😁

@github Nice 🥳 I really like clean git history 👍

@github Nice, can we have fast forward for merging PR?

@github oooohhhh this is dope - thx github

@github How about forcing ff-merge?

@github Thanks you so so so so much! Those "Merge branch 'master' into" are sooo ugly and simply do not belong into the final commit history.

@github niceee

@github ff-merge > rebase Is there a way to ff-merge a PR (without doing it manually)?

@github 👏
